Benefits of Space Exploration
  • Technology driven by the need to solve human
    problems
  • Tech Benefits (Spinoffs)
  • Nitinol (alloy used in dental braces makes
    satellites spring open)
  • Hand-held infrared cameras (used by firefighters
    to locate hot spots original used to view heat
    shields)
  • Implantable insulin pump (tech from Mars Voyager
    robot arm)
  • UV Protection Suit (prototypes given to children
    with XP disease)
  • DeBakey VAD (ventricular assist device)
  • Blanket insulation kits (used in race cars)
  • PLUS Computer bar codes, Quartz timing crystals,
    Pacemakers, Satellite communications, Aero Nerf
    Gliders, Smoke detectors, Scratch-resistant
    eyeglass lenses, Automatic blood pressure
    monitoring system, Accurate topographical maps,
    Image processing for MRI CT
  • The list goes on and on
